Moscow

Moscow is the capital of Rus-

sia, as well as the nation’s epi-

centre of arts, music, science,

academics, and politics. This

millennia-old city is a fascinat-

ing place to explore, with art

and architecture from every

era, besides plenty of mod-

ern-day pleasures to partake

in. St. Basil’s Cathedral is a

particularly interesting build-

ing, with patterned multi-co-

loured towers and balloon-like

roofs. Although it looks a bit

like something out Disney-

land, the Cathedral and all of

Moscow is no mythical fairy

tale, but a real-life adventure.

In the case of Moscow, reality

trumps fantasy. A metropolis is

a beautiful place, unlike any-

thing you’ll find elsewhere.

Kizhi

Kizhi is a quiet island in the north of Russia. During

the warm summer months, the small community is

sustained by tourism to the Kizhi State Open-Air Mu-

seum of History, Architecture, and Ethnography. This

is an open-air museum dedicated to educating visitors

about 18th-century life in Russia. If you visit Kizhi, you

can walk through this preserved town and learn about

the everyday life, religion, entertainment, and families

of rustic Russia. It’s an informative and unique expe-

rience that is worth the trip, especially during religious

holidays.
